Wessels Family Arrives at Takoma Park

JOHN and Andrew Wessels and their aged mother and their nephew arrived at Takoma Park last week from South Africa. The first named, with his mother, will go on to his home in California, while Andrew will prepare himself for work in the medical field.

Miss Whiteis Returns from India

Miss Samantha E. Whiteis, who for nearly ten years has been engaged in medical missionary work in India, reached Takoma Park last week, on her way to her home in Nebraska. Sister Whiteis had not expected to return until spring, but the condition of her mother's health altered her plans. She speaks enthusiastically of her work among the poor, needy, and afflicted of India's millions, and expects to return and renew her labors there at the expiration of her furlough. Her work has been mostly in Calcutta, although she has done considerable work among the villages.

Week of Prayer at Takoma Park

THE first meeting of the week of prayer at the Takoma Park church was a refreshing season, and gives promise of a season of special blessing for the church here. At the close of the reading a call was made for those who felt that they were not living as close to the Lord as they should, and for those who wished to consecrate themselves anew to God, to come up around the altar for a special season of prayer. More than twenty responded; and in the earnest prayer that followed and the testimonies given, those present felt that the blessing of Israel's God was being poured out upon his people. Good reports have also been received from the other churches in the District. We fully believe that God will make this season one of soul-satisfying victory for his people everywhere.

Elder John Bayman Stow

ANOTHER laborer has fallen at his post of duty. Elder John Bayman Stow, of the Western New York Conference, died at Nunda, N. Y., Dec. 4, 1906, where he and his wife were engaged in holding a series of meetings. Elder Stow was fifty-one years of age, and has been engaged in the proclamation of this message for a score or more of years. The funeral service was held at his home in Conewango Valley, N. Y., December 6, Elder Peabody preaching the funeral sermon. A further account of his life will appear in a subsequent issue of the REVIEW.
